That isn't true: they are actually called via window-state-change-hook.
It is just that the current animators only do anything on iconify.
Here is a version of the outline animator (in
sawfish.wm.animation.outline) that plays in reverse on uniconify.

  (define (anim-outline-entry mode w op #!optional action)
    (when (eq op 'start)
      (case action
	((iconified)
         (let ((win-pos (window-position w))
               (win-dim (window-frame-dimensions w))
               (icon-pos (or (window-get w 'icon-position)
                             anim-outline-icon-coords))
               (icon-dim '(1 . 1)))
           (if (window-get w 'iconified)
               (anim-outline-run w mode win-pos win-dim icon-pos icon-dim)
             (anim-outline-run w mode icon-pos icon-dim win-pos win-dim)))))))

The animation plays after the window has been mapped, so it looks even
lamer than in the forward direction.
